Top 10 most beautiful campuses

<p>Pepperdine I think is undebatably the best looking campus in the country. Nothing beats its Malibu beachside view.</p>

<p>I'm not too sure what would be after all that, but Rollins is also a very beautiful school and should be considered for the top ten. Its setting on Lake Virginia in upscale Winter Park is really nice. The colonial Spanish architecture works very well, and the landscaping is immaculate.</p>

<p>Yeah definitely CU Boulder</p>

<p>Duke .</p>

<p>brown and swarthmore</p>

<p>UC Berkeley</p>

<p>Duke, Stanford, West Point, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Princeton.</p>

<p>Northwestern. Right on the shore of Lake Michigan, one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world, with a great view of the Chicago skyline!</p>

<p>A couple of small LACs in Pennsylvania have some exceptionally handsome campuses.</p>

<p>Both St. Vincent in Latrobe (50 miles east of Pittsburgh), St. Francis in Loretto (100 miles east of Pittsburgh) and Juniata in Huntingdon (150 miles east of Pittsburgh) all are located in the Allegheny Mountains. All three have strikingly handsome campuses.</p>

<p>Dickinson in Carlisle (25 miles east of Harrisburg) looks like an MGM movie set. I keep expecting to see Peter Lawford walking June Allyson across the campus.</p>

<p>A previous poster criticized the CMU campus as ugly. To the contrary! The campus has been been improved (the old student center has been torn town) and is another very nice looking campus.</p>

<p>Stanford
Pepperdine
The Claremont Colleges (they're all beautiful/cool in their own way, and together it's just amazing).</p>

<p>Grace, I wouldn't call the area outside of the Lawn hideous. I will admit that there are some questionable structures at UVA (i.e. Hereford College and Lambeth - what were they thinking?)</p>

<p>But overall, UVA is stunning. It's the only US school included in the United Nations World Heritage List (along with the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China). Plus, it's dripping in history. When you walk around Grounds, you can see where Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe laid the cornerstone of the University at Pavilion VII, then stroll down Poe Alley past the gardens to check out Edgar Allan Poe's and President Woodrow Wilson's old dorm rooms on the Range. From there you can glimpse the winged statue carved by the same artist who build Mount Rushmore, then pass by President James Monroe's old house on Monroe Hill. Of course, you can't forget the iconic Rotunda, where the Marquis de Lafayette was the first guest of honor in 1825, and where Queen Elizabeth II dined in 1976. I think the Darden Business School is also gorgeous. Even the football stadium and the new basketball arena have a classic vibe.</p>

<p>uh..DUKE! and UVA is pretty close</p>

<p>globalist- Why did UVirgina expel Poe? Always wondered.</p>

<p>UVA
VT Tech
Stanford
Elon
Duke</p>

<p>and of course many of you have never heard of it, but i truly believe that St Mary's College in MD has THE most beautiful campus ever... right on the bay and absolutely perfect</p>

<p>Princeton is nice.</p>

<p>"Why did UVirgina expel Poe? Always wondered."</p>

<p>I think because he couldn't pay for schooling, although he might just have dropped out. I remember hearing about him burning furniture to keep warm at night.</p>

<p>Definitely Cornell!</p>

<p>yale and STANFORD</p>

<p>UVA has a breathtaking campus. Wake Forest and UNC were ok. FSU blows hard.</p>

<p>Notre Dame
USC
Indiana
UC boulder</p>

<p>I hated Pepperdine</p>

<p>To say that the FSU campus "blows hard" is ridiculous. You may not like the school, but the campus it's pretty nice and getting better with all the new construction. You're also comparing FSU to UVA and UNC, that's not really fair to FSU. UVA and UNC have two of the nicest campus in the world. In the state of Florida, UF and FSU have the two nicest campuses by far. If you want to see a campus that "blows hard", go visit UCF, USF, or even UM.</p>
